Bfg

Sophie is carried away by a giant, but discovers that this enormous stranger is very different from the others. The BFG collects dreams and refuses to eat people, and together they begin an extraordinary plan to stop the dangerous giants. Roald Dahl's imaginative adventure combines invented language, humour and unlikely friendship, giving readers a warm-hearted hero and a wonderfully strange world that rewards curiosity and courage.

Age suitability and learning: Primary (6-8), Older children (9-12). The longer narrative suits children ready to sustain attention across a developing story, whether reading independently or sharing it aloud. Following characters and events supports comprehension, vocabulary and reading stamina; discussing motives, settings and choices encourages inference, empathy and imaginative thinking.
